Rafting in Vail, Colorado

RAFTING

Beginning in late April, local outfitters run the Eagle and Arkansas Rivers, offering thrill seekers a chance to splash through the rippling rivers and big rapids. Try the Night Vision Raft Trip with Timberline Tours for something out of the ordinary!

Colorado is known for some of the best white water in the country. Guests can enjoy anything from a lazy float to a heat-pumping Class V river adventure. Most outfitters offer transporation as part of the raft trip and some even offer overnight adventures.

KAYAKING

Try maneuvering your own sit-on-top kayak through the Upper Colorado River Class I and Class II whitewaters. Jump right in on this 1/2 day trip or take a two day lesson starting on Nottingham Lake and progressing to the Upper Colorado.
